I don't wanna talk
  About the things we've gone through
  Though it's hurting me
  Now it's history
  I've played all my cards
  And that's what you've done too
  Nothing more to say
  No more ace to play
  
  The winner takes it all
  The loser standing small
  Beside the victory
  That's her destiny
  
  I was in your arms
  Thinking I belonged there
  I figured it made sense
  Building me a fence
  Building me a home
  Thinking I'd be strong there
  But I was a fool
  Playing by the rules
  
  The gods may throw a dice
  Their minds as cold as ice
  And someone way down here
  Loses someone dear
  The winner takes it all
  The loser has to fall
  It's simple and it's plain
  Why should I complain.
  
  But tell me does she kiss
  Like I used to kiss you?
  Does it feel the same
  When she calls your name?
  Somewhere deep inside
  You must know I miss you
  But what can I say
  Rules must be obeyed
  
  The judges will decide
  The likes of me abide
  Spectators of the show
  Always staying low
  The game is on again
  A lover or a friend
  A big thing or a small
  The winner takes it all
  
  I don't wanna talk
  If it makes you feel sad
  And I understand
  You've come to shake my hand
  I apologize
  If it makes you feel bad
  Seeing me so tense
  No self-confidence
  But you see
  The winner takes it all
  The winner takes it all ...
